Its either that or keep Jay in the starting lineup which makes us even worse versus lefties with Tavares also being a lefty. We don't really have any other position players able to make the leap to the bigs in our farm system right now.

You're contradicting yourself.
If "Beltran out" doesn't make sense to you, then the team absolutely needs to move Adams. There's no place for him to play if you're not going to get Craig off 1b and Adams just hit 17 bombs in half a season. His value's unlikely to ever get higher.
If "Adams out" doesn't make sense to you, then Beltran has to go.
I've stated my preference: bank the 1st rounder, save the $14 million, let Beltran walk and get a lefty slugger into the lineup. Craig can play 1b against lefties to rest his legs and we'll find a RH-hitting OFer like we should've done last year when Moe's dumb-ass went after Wigginton instead of Hairston.
